Basta - Piatti

We tried the fondue which was nice.We also ordered the ravioli and cheese omelette..it was okay.I have had better and i did find the restaurant a tad bit expensive.

Have been in The Basta last year several times. Was very impressed by the service and food. This year with the new chef the food has not improved but the service is down. Big name, higher price but not improved. Will not come back.

Little atmosphere, and whilst the fondue was fine, the other dishes were poor.  The cheese omelette was in effect a hard, solid tortilla.  A green salad was, staggeringly, a cos lettuce cut into four quarters and plonked on an empty plate.  Would not return. Visualizza piatti

We visited this restaurant as we stayed at the hotel. We wanted to taste Italian food so chose this place as it was very convenient. The spaghetti was excellent but the meat we ordered was not satisfactory. Overall the service was good but the prices were extremely high for the quality offered.

We were staying in the hotel and while we really enjoy Swiss food we finally decided to try it and in fact returned the next night. This place is really good and if only more Italian restaurants could prepare the meals as they do I would become a convert. Ignore the previous bad reviews. By Gstaad standards this is a very reasonably priced restaurant and the staff could not have been nicer. Go here!!

Returned to Basta after many years. This was a pleasant experience. It is a simple and small cafe featuring Italian cuisine.Had a very tasty steak tartare with arugula and figs. My husband enjoyed a most unusual spaghettini with nuts and a light green sauce. It was the nightly pasta special. Not a pesto sauce. The service was good. The open kitchen is wonderful to watch. You will see your meal being prepared with great care.Glad we gave it a second chance. Visualizza piatti

Bad value is expected in gstaad- appalling service is what you shouldn't receive with the high prices. Basta broke with tradition and displayed incredibly bad service- took 20min to get the water. Waitress was upset to be asked for butter. Manager and waitress were intently engaged in a series of arguments during the course of a rather unpleasant late lunch. A shame as the poor chefs in the open kitchen were diligent and prepared the food well. We should have just dealt with them directly.

Though, prices were steep, you get what you pay for. Its an open kitchen concept, giving you the opportunity to talk to the chefs, or simply just watch them prepare your food. We ordered the Minestrone soup and the beef Tartar as starters and loved every bit. The tartar was nicely seasoned and served with arugula, which had been tossed in olive oil (never had such good olive oil before). As mains, two of us had a whole sea bass /loup de mer / wolfsbarsch, beautifully cooked and served with Italian veggies (cherry tomatoes, capers and olives). The fish was presented and filled at our table. Me and my brother had the Burger (which comes as two sliders) and olive oil fries, home made ketchup an...

Not a surprise that the restaurant is 34 out of 43 restaurants in Gstaad. Me and my friends were visiting Gstaad for one day, and saw this restaurant which looked very nice in terms of design. What a mistake to choice the restaurant by the atmosphere, I honestly have never had a worse beef tartar than in this place. I had a feeling that the tartar came straight away from the cow! No seasoning, no nothing. Just imagine eating just a raw meat.. did not even finish it half way trough. Another point, never I have seen that there was no side for tartar: salad or french fries? The plaits of my friends were also disappointing, the portion were really small. Looks like the chef or the owner is quite... Visualizza piatti
